In a certain code language, 'HEAD' is coded as '88', 'REAR' is coded as '64'. How will 'FRONT' be coded in that code language?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
Yes, correct — 60 is the right answer.
Pattern: Using reverse alphabet position (A=26, B=25, C=24, ..., Z=1), sum the values of the letters, then subtract 2.
HEAD: H=19, E=22, A=26, D=23
Sum = 19+22+26+23 = 90
90 − 2 = 88 ✓
REAR: R=9, E=22, A=26, R=9
Sum = 9+22+26+9 = 66
66 − 2 = 64 ✓
FRONT: F=21, R=9, O=12, N=13, T=7
Sum = 21+9+12+13+7 = 62
62 − 2 = 60
Option 1 (60) is correct.
